Google Voice Voicemails

PrsnlCrcl · #1 (**permalink**) 02-03-2010, 02:57 PM

I use google voice and have all of my voicemail go through it so that I get the transcript sent to me. Sometimes the transcripts are useless so I need to listen to the message. Is there a good app out there that allows you to easily access the voicemails? I hate using a browser because it is a multi-step process and it would be much faster to just rever to having voicemails go to my phone instead. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When you set up google voice, it should have gave you a number to dial that would put you directly into your voicemail. I know on Sprint, I can change my voicemail phone number to be the google voicemail number so that if I cannot understand the text that was sent, I can just call my VM box directly and listen to it.

The OP is probably wanting to use some sort of app if not web bases so that they don't waste anytime minutes is my guess

+1 to this...its GV as Visual Voicemail...download the clip thru your browser if you want it like that. Otherwise listen to it by calling your GV number.

Pardon my ignorance, but I did not know that I could access the voicemail by calling the number (though it makes sense). That solves the issues I was running into. It was taking far too much time to be able to access the message from my phone. You have been thanked!

I have been on the lookout for a program like this too, but atm I don't think one exists quite yet...

if you have pick 3, or pick 5, you can add your GV # and save your minutes. I do much of my outgoing calls through GV. Using iContact the process is fairly seemless. On their website, they'll generate a cab for you with your # and PIN embedded.
